Nollywood actress Halima Abubakar has issued an apology to Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries for defaming him.

Abubakar acknowledged that she disseminated false information about Suleman, which caused him distress on social media.

The conflict between Halima Abubakar and Apostle Suleman began in 2022 when the actress fell ill following a dispute with the clergyman. During her illness, her family publicly urged Suleman to keep his distance from her.

However, there were claims that Abubakar was suffering from an autoimmune condition, which she refuted by sharing her medical documentation.

In her letter to Apostle Suleman, Halima Abubakar expressed her desire to apologize and conveyed her sincere regret for damaging his reputation, hoping that her message would help to mend the situation to some degree.

The letter reads: “I admit that I made false allegations against you and also regret my action and the damage I caused to you, your wife, Dr Lizzy Suleman, your family and the leaders of the Omega Fire Ministry.

“With this letter, I humbly ask for forgiveness, recognising that my apology cannot undo the harm, pain and distress I caused and I ask you to find a place in your heart to forgive me as I was not thinking right then.

“I’m truly sorry for all the hurts and distress I caused you, your family and ministry.”
